Trump to Accept Republican Nomination Shortly at RNC

Less than a week after surviving an assassination attempt, Donald J. Trump is poised to deliver his acceptance speech for the Republican nomination tonight, marking a remarkable political comeback after his defeat back in 2020. Under his leadership the Republican party has evolved from a party of big business and corporate America to a party of working class Americans. 

Trump's resurgence sees him firmly in control of the Republican Party, enjoying unified support and benefiting from a disarrayed Democratic campaign where leaders and donors are urging President Biden to step aside.

Here is what else you need to know

Last night, Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio officially accepted the Republican vice presidential nomination in a speech that deviated significantly from the old neocon ideology of GOP . Vance criticized the Wall Street and championed working-class values, presenting himself as a torchbearer for the next phase of the Trump movement.

Trump's granddaughter Kai Madison Trump also spoke at the GOP convention last night. “To me, he’s just a normal grandpa. He gives us candy and soda when our parents are not looking. He always wants to know how we’re doing in school," she said.

Trump's acceptance speech tonight is expected to reinforce his campaign's narrative of strength and continuity, capitalizing on his re-established leadership within the GOP and portraying himself as the candidate best positioned to lead the country forward. Trump's central theme is that he will put America first, implying that Democrats don't care about America. Meanwhile, Trump's opponent, US President Joe Biden has tested positive for Covid-19.
